Information about "Rustenberg Wild Ferment Unwooded Chardonnay 2024"
With a delicate lime-green hue, the Rustenberg Wild Ferment Unwooded Chardonnay captivates the eye before revealing an enticing bouquet of fresh citrus notes intertwined with a whisper of creamy oatmeal. Aromas of lemon, tangerine, and a hint of pine needles harmonize on the palate, leaving a crisp, chalky finish. The absence of oak emphasizes the wine's elegant profile, showcasing vibrant fruitiness and freshness.
This Chardonnay undergoes fermentation with the wild yeast present on the grapes at harvest, enhancing its body and complexity during a lees aging process that enriches its mouthfeel.
The hand-harvested grapes were fully destemmed, crushed, and pressed upon arrival at the cellar. The juice fermented with selected yeast cultures in stainless steel tanks and rested on the lees for two to three more months with weekly stirring post-fermentation.
